As Garvan is a not-for-profit organisation, it is unlikely that a research program would have the funds to take on a postgraduate student without scholarship funding of some kind. However, there are many different sources of funding available for postgraduate research students, such as UNSW Australia, APA, UIPA, IPRS and the NHMRC.
